Interesting,clear, and to-the-point review. Still hesitating between this lens and the TTArtisan 17mm 1.4. The latter is hard to find in stock, here in Belgium and The Netherlands. I'm guessing it will be this lens.
Hey Aslan what's up bro? Full frame has a wider field of view compared to APSC and MFT because of sensor size. For example if you were to put 17mm apsc on a full frame, it would really be about 12mm on the full frame...16mm MFT is 35 equivalent as full frame because taking a wider lense and putting it against a small sensor, that will actually crop the field of view and turning the picture into a 35mm. This tactic works for wildlife photographers because they can take a 70-200mm lease and put it on a smaller sensor to turn it into 120-400mm something like that. That gives them ridiculous focal length advantages. the smaller the sensor size is, the more in camera crop you'll get. Hope that cleared it up the confusion for you.
Your review made me order it :) Thank you very much for it! I do already have the Laowa 7.5mm f2.0 and also do love it!
Great to hear Guilherme! I use it in almost every shoot now.
Wow this little lense packs some serious punch. 👊🏽 Appreciate the review!
Great review! Thanks, Bro!
No worries brotha! Stay in touch!
Great review Get. I have been super curious about it this lens. It looks like the sweet spot is about 2.8?
Very good review!!
Thank you Luis! Let me know if you made the move on that.

Hey man I have a question I have a Cannon 60d Eos camera and I was wondering what attachment would you recommend for the lense to fit?
sup JU, you can get a converter from a company called viltrox that will convert MFT to APSC .
Buying an EF mount 17mm Laowa Lens, can I use directly on Canon 90d ? And what will be the equivalent focal length for that camera ?
Hey Khan, Love that name. Yeh it will fit because the 90d takes EF but it will have a crop because its apsc so you will be looking at around 25mm
So it is 35mm equivalent on fullframe lens? It is still 17mm as an 17mm apsc lens? Still dont get it:(

Focus breathing?
Yes there is some because its a photo lens. All photo lenses has focus breathing.
